I am still crying after finding this awesome Manchester jug with a broken handle this morning. Does anyone know if it possible to have one made and put back on, to look original?

Try Chuck. He has been a friend of Bram's (downeastdigger) and dives for bottles as well as digging. I have met and talked with him over the last few years at the New England show where I met you this April. He was there too. He showed some examples of repairs he had done on stoneware and I thought they were really really well done. Anyway, try him , maybe you guys can work something out.

Check out (drgomer.com) He does a really awesome job. He did some work for me last year and I was very happy and the price was very reasonable.

Hi Glassgopher, Im friends with Chuck as well. I have had to look at the pictures of pieces Chuck has fixed because they are done so professionally you cant tell where the damage was when it is in your hands trying to find it. He is very good at it.

Definitely one that brings a tear to the eye [:(] but a very cool find none the less!
